State reopening guidance impacts City facilities and services

The City of Lenexa is following the guidelines of Kansas Governor Laura Kelly’s Ad Astra: A Plan to Reopen Kansas, which is strongly recommended by Johnson County. Lenexa Parks & Recreation will reopen facilities and resume some programs and events in limited capacities starting June 1, at the earliest.

Neighborhood Block Party Visits

Lenexa Police Department officers are sometimes available to visit neighborhood block parties. These requests are considered on a case-by-case basis and are attended by on-duty officers who may need to leave to respond to a call. Availability of attendance is also based on the patrol call load during the requested time. Completion of a request form does not guarantee an officer will appear at your event.

Requests will only be considered for neighborhood block parties. We are unable to attend private events, birthday parties, grand openings or sidewalk sales. Call 913.825.8081 to inquire about hiring an off-duty police officer for private event security.

This request form does not guarantee an officer’s attendance. All appearances are subject to the patrol shift’s call load, with calls for service taking priority.

Officers making an appearance are on-duty and working a patrol beat. While making an appearance, officers are still expected to remain available for dispatched calls.

Use the form below to request police officer attendance at a neighborhood block party.
